This

Best three year stretch in Picken's career ('94-'96) he averaged 90 receptions, 1180 yds and 13.3 tds

Bets three year stretch in Green's career ('11-'13) he averaged 87 receptions, 1278 yds, and 9.7 tds.

But Pickens was also and exceptional return man.  he still holds the record fopr longest punt return in Bengal history (95 yds)

Pickens played both ways his freshman year at UT.  He only played half a season on defense but led the team in interceptions and was the Defensive MVP of the Cotton Bowl.  And that was for a team that finished #5 in the final AP poll.  In college he scored tds on receptions, punt returns, kick returns, and interception returns.
